图画作文越来越成为英语类考试的新宠，不仅考研(微博)英语选取图画作文作为考试的题型，近年来，四六级也采取“看图写作”来作为考查学生的英语书写能力。新东方在线(微博)英语四级频道在这里给大家整理了图画作文的写作技巧，希望可以在考前祝大家一臂之力，顺利通过四六级考试，争取刷新分数记录。
一、图画写作第一步：看图构思，明确立意
纵然卡通图画或者图表是千变万化的，但是其基本特征却是相似的;图画的立意尽管不尽相同，但一定是从图画得出来的。所以，文都郭老师建议大家：准确把握“图画特点”，明确其背后隐藏的深刻含义或寓意。
所有图画的特点可以从以下四个方面去总结：
1、中心事物(可以是人，也可以是物);
2、中心事物所处的状态或所处环境;
3、中心事物的动作;
4、动作的结果。
由此，考生在看完图画后，应该明确四个问题：
1.图上画了什么主要人物或事物
2.他或它处于什么状态或环境下
3.他做了什么事或者它表现了什么样的状态
4.他或它所做的事造成了什么结果
二、图画写作第二步：谋篇布局，三段写作
在看明白图画的立意后，就要可以开始着手写作了。任何应试作文的写作都应从谋篇布局开始，也就是确定文章的整体结构，思考文章分几段、各段该怎么写。建议我们把看图议论文写成三个段落：第一段描述图画，第二段解释寓意，第三段解决方案或我的观点。
下面给大家一图片为例，给大家展示一下图画作文的三段写作方法。

As is depicted above, a number of young people are having a gathering of friends, but instead of talking with each other, each of them is addicted to his or her mobile phone. The lower part of the picture, we can see some Chinese characters which read “the meeting in mobile-phone era”.
Undoubtedly, the author of the picture aims at reminding us of the double edge of the cell phone. It is well known that thanks to the development of human civilization, many formerly unimaginable things come into reality. A case in point is the mobile phones. We must admit that the smart phone indeed dramatically changes our life. However, if used improperly, the mobile phones also can bring unhealthy side-effects, and imperil face to face communication between people. It is not too much to say that being over-addicted to mobile phones will cost our health, wisdom, creativity, friendship and even our ability to live.
Weighing the pros and cons of both sides, perhaps the best policy is to regulate it in such a way as to maximize its advantages. At the same time, we must avoid its harmful part. Furthermore, young people should be advised that spending too much time in using smart phones is bad for them.
